    U.S. Marines with Marine Rotational Force Europe 21.1 (MRF-E), Marine Forces Europe and Africa, conduct a company live-fire attack as part of Exercise Arctic Littoral Strike in Blåtind, Norway, March 28, 2021. Exercise Arctic Littoral Strike improved MRF-E’s ability to confront the challenges of anti-access, area denial capabilities posed by a notional peer adversary in a contested littoral environment. MRF-E demonstrated the ability to support joint fleet operations by providing over watch to a Norwegian submarine and destroying a notional adversary integrated air defense system. MRF-E focuses on regional engagements throughout Europe by conducting various exercises, arctic cold-weather and mountain warfare training, and military-to-military engagements, which enhance overall interoperability of the U.S. Marine Corps with allies and partners.

    Two armed military personnel in white winter camouflage uniforms are moving rapidly through snow, appearing to conduct a tactical exercise or training operation in a cold-weather environment. They are equipped with rifles, tactical vests, helmets, and snowshoes, suggesting specialized arctic or winter warfare training. Additional personnel are visible in the background against a snow-covered landscape.
    Image captured through a night vision device showing two individuals in military or tactical gear in a low-light environment. The characteristic circular green-tinted field of view confirms this is night vision optic footage. The subjects appear to be in motion or crouched positions, carrying equipment and weapons.
    Image captured through a night vision device showing a single armed soldier in a tactical stance. The circular green-tinted field of view is characteristic of Generation 2 or 3 image intensifier night vision optics. The soldier appears to be aiming a rifle with an underbarrel attachment in an outdoor environment.
    A night vision image captured through a circular image intensifier tube, showing a figure in tactical gear holding a long firearm in a low-light outdoor environment. The characteristic green phosphor display and circular vignetting confirm this is footage from a Generation 2 or Generation 3 night vision device. Image grain and limited contrast are consistent with low ambient light conditions.
    A night vision device (NVD) captured image showing a group of personnel moving across an open, snow-covered or sandy terrain at night. A bright light source, likely a flare or illumination round, is visible in the upper left sky. Additional light sources are visible on the horizon in the background.
    A night vision image captured through a night-vision device (NVD), showing two silhouetted figures wearing helmets in what appears to be a military or tactical setting. The characteristic green monochrome tones and circular vignetting are consistent with image-intensifier night vision optics. Multiple bright light sources are visible in the background, likely vehicle headlights or artificial illumination.
    A night vision image captured through a circular lens showing multiple individuals engaged in what appears to be a tactical or military operation at night. The green monochromatic imagery is characteristic of Generation 2 or 3 night vision optics. At least three figures are visible, with one appearing to use a light source while others crouch nearby.
    A group of military personnel in winter camouflage gear are positioned on a snow-covered ridge in an arctic or subarctic environment. Several soldiers are in firing positions with rifles while others stand observing, suggesting a training exercise. The landscape features bare deciduous trees and overcast winter conditions consistent with a northern European or Arctic region.
    An overhead aerial photograph shows two military personnel in winter camouflage gear operating a crew-served machine gun from a prone/kneeling position in deep snow. Spent brass casings are scattered around the weapon position, indicating active or recent firing. The soldiers are equipped with tactical vests, white snow covers over helmets and outerwear, and backpacks.
    A group of military personnel in winter combat gear are conducting operations in a snow-covered arctic or subarctic environment. The foreground soldier wears digital camouflage with a white snow smock overlay and carries an assault rifle with a radio antenna visible. Multiple soldiers and at least one military vehicle are visible in the background along a snow-covered path.
    A fully equipped military service member is photographed in a snowy, winter environment. The individual is wearing US Marine Corps digital camouflage (MARPAT) with a white snow camouflage over-garment, tactical helmet with night vision device mount, and is carrying an assault rifle. An American flag patch is visible on the chest plate carrier, indicating US military affiliation.
